"And I have ensured that Mickey will get into to no more mischief in my workshop then again... he's Mickey Mouse."
A graying old man in robes closed a book. He just finished writing down a tale about two brothers. One rabbit and one mouse...
He stands up and yawns, it was late and he should head to bed. Before doing the book is placed on a shelf. On it's spine was the words: Epic Mickey. He looks at it for a minute.
"Though that tale is over, the story does not end."
Epic Line Break.
A few months later...
At home Mickey picks up the phone just as it starts to ring. "Hello? Mickey Mouse here."
"~Wa wa waa~" (Think about the sound of the peanuts on the phone)
"Oh hi Donald, what's up?"
"~Wa wa waa~"
"Oh? A picnic and everyone's going to be there?"
"~Wa.~"
The mouse smiles to himself. "Sure I'll be there, might be a little late with the kingdom hearts 3 planing session but I'll be there."
"~Wa wa waa~"
"See you too Donald." Then the phone was put back on the receiver. "Speaking of the planning session. I better get ready to go before I'm late." The mouse turned to do so. His dog Pluto barked and wagged his tail. "Don't worry boy, I'll stop at the store and get you a new ball before we head to meet the others."
"Arf!" Pluto certainly loved that.
"I"ll see you later boy." Mickey gave him a good pat on the head before heading out the door.
Mickey climbs out of the car outside of the meeting hall and heads inside. Employees greet him though the halls.
"Hey Mickey."
"Nice to see you Mister Mouse."
"How are you Mickey?"
He waved back. "I'm fine today thank you for asking." Replying with the manner he had been come to know to use there. "Are they waiting for me?"
The blond Secretary nods. "Yes Mister Mouse. Sora and Riku are there as well."
Ah those too, it's good they are here. They'll help make the scenes better and more like them.
"Thanks Mary. I'll go right in." The mouse pushes open the doors. In there were a few guys along with two video game characters. "Aw Mickey, great your here."
"How've you been?" Sora the brown haired character asked, the grey haired one just smiled. "Haven't got to see you much since KH Re-coded. and all that."
"Sorry about that Sora and Riku. I've been really busy with the Mickey Mouse Club House and Epic Mickey, they've just been eating up most of my time."
Riku nods with understanding. "That's quite alright. We've all kind of had our hands full too."
"Let's get the brain work going."
Another Epic Line Break.
"Well that's a wrap for today everyone." One person said. "I think we did a great job. Everyone meet back here in about two weeks. We'll show you what else we'll have then."
The notes were packed up and put away for processing. Mickey asked if the two kingdom hearts characters wanted to join him at the picnic. Which both happily accepted.
"Great I'll see you guys at park in about a hour."
"We'll be there Mickey." "You can count on it."
"Bye.." He then turned and headed to the parking lot. "Finally that's over with. I still hate meeting, but with those guys it bearable and fun."
Well his next plan was picking up Pluto and stopping at the store, getting a ball and maybe some chips to take to the picnic.
It doesn't take long to get back to his house where his dog happily tackled him down to the ground and covering him with slobbery kisses. "Nono Pluto hahaahh! That tickles! Hahahahah!"
"Wulfwulff!"
"Alright hehhehe Pluto that's enough, or do you not want that new ball."
He quickly gets off but his tail still was wagging a mile a minute. He really wanted that ball.
Mickey chuckled a little more. "Silly boy, alright let's get you in the car-" He stops talking, looking up and seeing the mirror above the fireplace ripple.
Oswald was there, waiting to talk to him.
"Hold on Pluto we'll leave after I talk to Oswald."
The mouse climb up and smiled when his reflection was replace by a black rabbit with blue short. "Mickey! I was just coming to see how you were."
"I'm great, sorry I wasn't here last time. I'm working really hard on getting the Epic Mickey game out. When it does, I'm certain you and the others will be able to come back to this world again."
"I can't wait. I know the wife and kids will be real excited."
"I'm talking to Professor Von Drake to see if he can help make a house large enough for all those 420 kids here in Toontown. So how are things in Wasteland?"
"Really good, we've fixed the Small World Ride and Animatronic Donald finally fished his boat out of the thinner, now we can finish fixing up Ostown."
"How's Gus?"
"He's just fine, been real busy with all the repairs. I'm sure he'll be able to come talk to you next time."
Mickey nods. "I"ll like that."
It was nice that they were getting along now, Mickey loved seeing his older brother smiling. After their adventure together they've been growing closer. He's sure the Disney would be proud about all they've done. Happy to see his greatest creations as brothers.
The two chatted for a little longer before Pluto's bark reminded the mouse. "Oh! I almost forgot, sorry Oswald I have to go. There's a big picnic happening soon and Minne will get really mad if I don't turn up when I said I would."
"That's quite alright, I should see how the Gremlins are doing anyway. See you Mickey."
"See yah later Oswald."
The mirror then shows Mickey's reflection again and he hops down. "Alright Pluto let's hurry up and get to the store while we still have time too."
More Epic Line Breaks.
Oswald turned away from the magic mirror just before it disappear. Glad to have been able to talk to Mickey. He understood that he was busy, heck Oswald was just as busy too here in Wasteland
Since the Blot was defeated things have gotten a lot better, everyone was slowly recovering and going back to how they were.
Everything was peaceful and happy now. And he couldn't wait to tell his friends and family about his younger brother effort to bring them back to the real world.
The rabbit was sure that would put a smile on everyone faces.
Epic Line Break.
"Mickey's here!"
"Hey Mickey!"
Everyone greets the mouse after he and Pluto hop out of the car. "Hey guys, I grabbed chips."
"Thank goodness, thank you. Donald's been eating what we had already." Daisy looked relived as she helped carry the bags.
"I'm always happy to help."
There was a few wooden table set up in one long row, each one was covered with all kinds of food. All the way from grapes and potato salad to some weird dishes such as bacon wrapped in real blankets. That must of been Goofy's, must of made pigs in blankets, at least it wasn't real pigs.
Games were already set up near a tall oak tree and music was playing a radio near the cooler.
And nearly everyone was there.
"You guys made it!" Mickey beamed seeing that Sora, Riku and even Kairi had made it.
"We sure did, we even got Kairi to come."
"And I'm so happy to be here." She smiled.
"And we're happy you are here too as well Kairi." Mickey smiled. "Come on, the food's going to be severed soon."
"Sora was about to say something when Pluto came over. "Hey Pluto, how've you been boy?" He reached down to pet him. "I see you got a new ball, want to play fetch with me?"
"Wuff wuff!" That was a yes. So those two race off to play and the others to to the tables.
"So how have you been?"
"Pretty good, Yen Sid is working on training me and Lea for the next game. Sora and Riku have been giving me tips a well."
"That's great, I'm sure you'll do very well."
"Thanks, hey Yen Sid told me about a another game he was doing with you? Um..what was it again..?"
"It was Epic Mickey."
"Oh right that one." Riku snagged a chip from a bowl. "I heard about some things about the plot, that's going to be one neat game. Compliments to who thought it up."
Mickey smiles. "Thanks, I'm sure you'll like it too.." He also wondered how they would take it if they learned all of it was true.
Sora would think it was awesome and be really excited about seeing Wasteland for himself.
Riku would want to know the whole story from Mickey.
Kairi, he would see her put a comforting hand on his shoulder and say everything was alright.
Hm..Donald would get mad saying that there was only room for one Duck here and that he was the best.
Goofy would be shocked about seeing that Oswald was Mickey's brother and would want to try and make friend with him.
More possibly responses filled his mind, different scenarios of how it could play out.
"You ok Mickey?" A question brought him out of his thoughts.
"Huh?"
"You ok?" Minne asked.
"Oh I'm fine, I was just thinking about this and that."
"Like what?"
"Um..the new games." (Which was somewhat true.)
"Relax for awhile." Sora smiled putting a chip half way in his mouth. "You've been working so hard on them."
"Making us want to see it more."
"You should relax Mickey."
"Your right."
"Who's up for volleyball?"
Sorry if it seems short at all, this chapter mainly was to introduce you to this story's world.
